매니, 과연 어디로 갈 것인가?

The Dodgers might not want to trade Manny Ramirez after all. At least not right away.

The deadline for teams to claim Ramirez on waivers is Friday at 1:30 p.m. ET. If Ramirez goes unclaimed, it could mean that the Dodgers balked at making a pre-arranged trade with the White Sox or another club, and would prefer to wait until at least the end of the weekend before determining whether they want to move him.
매니에 대한 클레임을 걸 수있는 시간이 우리나라 시간으로 토요일 오전 2시 30분까지입니다. 만약 매니에 대한 클레임이 걸리지 않는다면 시삭스와의 트레이드 논의가 무산되었을 가능성이 높다고 하는군요.

The Dodgers indeed might want more time.

They enter Friday just five games out in the National League wild-card race, though in fifth place. They visit the team just ahead of them in the wild-card standings this weekend, the Rockies, then host another wild-card contender, the Phillies, starting Monday night. Thus, the Dodgers will play four games before they need to make an actual decision on Ramirez.
일단 당황스럽게도 밀워키에게 스윕을 해버리고 경쟁(단어사용이 매우 적절치 못하네요)팀이 삽질하는 사이에 NL 와일드카드레이스에서 5경기안으로 좁혀져버렸습니다. 물론 여전히 가능성은 매우 낮은 편이지만, 앞으로의 일정을 생각해볼때 다저스가 매니를 보내는 것에 대한 논의를 다시 할 것같다고 하는군요. 즉, 막판 추격을 위해 안보낼 수도 있다는 뜻이죠.

If the Dodgers fall further back in the race and Ramirez goes unclaimed, a deal would need to be arranged by Tuesday at midnight ET, the deadline for setting postseason rosters. If Ramirez is claimed, the deadline for completing a deal would be earlier that day.

Any club that claims Ramirez without a set deal with the Dodgers would risk getting stuck with his entire $4.3 million salary for the rest of the season. The advantage of a prearranged trade is that the teams could negotiate a more reasonable cash and prospect exchange.

Source says Manny NOT asking for extension (more).

About Manny's desire for 1-yr ext. He has told some people he wants one to waive no-trade, others that he does not. Manny being Manny!
한편 소스에 따르면 어제 매니가 트레이드불가조항을 풀 경우 클레임 건 구단이 1년 연장해주길 바란다는 얘기에 대해 아니라고 했다고 합니다.

1시간 15분 정도 남겨둔 상황이라서 일단 여기까지는 지켜볼 생각입니다.
